Top Ten Ways to Prove Mormons Are Christians

Post by _Runtu »

From a thread on the "other" board:

10. The first Monday after Fast Sunday, have every member wear a t-shirt reading "I Are a Christian."
9. If "principal" can be synonymous with "among," why can't "Mormon" be synonymous with "Christian"?
8. Change all church programs to include the word "Christian": Christian Relief Society, For the Strength of Christian Youth, Christian Sacrament Meeting, etc.
7. Use an even larger font to set off "Jesus Christ" in the church logo.
6. Replace the angels on temples with that fishy symbol.
5. Have the More Good foundation set up lots of web sites that redirect google searches from Christian sites to Mormon sites.
4. Send letters of outrage whenever Mormons are called not Christian.
3. Apply for a trademark on "True Christians."
2. Start preaching "Prosperity Theology."
1. Act like Christians. Your neighbors will figure it out.

Number 1 is good. Most LDS I know are trying that one. Do as I do, not as I say. Or whatever.

I say we adopt the fishy symbol with legs and not the fishy symbol. I like that one.

I saw that thread on MAD too and was going to comment. If Christianity is what it's suppose to be, then I'd say rule #1 is do not, DO NOT engage in campaigns to make yourselves look like Christians.

LM 11/23/2018: one can explain away the soul of human beings...as...a Meat Unit, to use Professor Peterson's clever derogatory description of gemli's ideology.

I think the "True Christian" territory is theirs for the taking! It fits with the LDS theme of exclusivity.
